CINCINNATI, Ohio - October 9, 2007 – Today John Selvaggio was named as Comair’s new president, effective Monday, Oct. 15. Selvaggio replaces Don Bornhorst, who has been appointed senior vice president of Delta Connection.
A 35-year industry veteran, Selvaggio served as founder and president of Delta Air Lines’ low-fare division Song. Prior to leading Song, he was senior vice president of Airport Customer Service for Delta’s world headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. (Now theres something to be proud of) During his career, Selvaggio has also served as president of Wings West Airlines, which eventually became American Eagle; president, chief executive officer and chief operating officer of Midway Airlines and vice president of the US Airways Express division.
“John brings a wealth of regional airline experience to his leadership of Comair,” said Joe Kolshak, executive vice president of Operations for Delta. “I have no doubt that he will be able to take over where Don left off and continue the great strides Comair is making.”
In his new role at Delta Connection, Bornhorst will oversee Delta’s relationship with nine regional partners, including Comair. During his 16-year tenure at Comair, Bornhorst worked with every operational department. In recent months, he guided the regional carrier out of bankruptcy and introduced the new Bombardier CRJ-900. The CRJ-900 is the first plane in the Comair’s fleet to include 76-seats and a first-class cabin.
“I’m excited to join an airline with such a great tradition,” said Selvaggio. “Nearly all of my professional career has been dedicated to the aviation industry and this is an opportunity for me to return to a business that I love.”
Based at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Comair is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines and a Delta Connection carrier. The airline employs 6,400 dedicated aviation professionals and operates 730 flights a day to approximately 90 international and domestic destinations.
